intervention which most probably though will achieve its objective of supporting the very shaky regime in bamako and is objective is not to go further than that to actually wipe out the threat of extremism not just threatening the south but also in the north if that's the case that that is a big challenge isn't it it is a big challenge and then everything depends on what african forces will do it also to burn the internal mannion situation. for example who are fighting the central government technologists aided to disassociate themselves from various islamic islamics groups in the north so the situation is very much in flux and right now are there is a kind of even russia and china proved this intervention of the security council today african states are approving it so it's somewhat different even though it is the result of a misguided intervention or the situation are is different because there's more international support and yet and yet can i just ask you the rebels are saying francis fallen into a trap they perhaps could find themselves in another situation like libya afghanistan or iraq no
